“IHAT’s Uttar Pradesh Technical Support has established concurrent monitoring systems in the 100 Blocks of 25 high priority districts (HPDs) of the states – one of the monitoring mechanisms being the Rolling Facility Survey (RFS), which periodically monitors the progress in the knowledge, skills and practices of nurses in the facilities of the intervention area, and helps making mid-course corrections in the nurse-mentoring programme. The present report brings forth a comparative status of the maternal and newborn healthcare practices in public health facilities in the intervention area. In addition, the report also provides the progress in the knowledge and skills of Staff Nurses/Auxiliary Nurse Midwives on the themes related to maternal and newborn healthcare.
